You will operate in a unique role that bridges strategic and operational intelligence, providing expertise-derived insight that directly supports both executive decision-making and frontline security operations. In the Strategic Intelligence service you will apply a strong understanding of global geopolitics, nation-state behavior, and macro threat trends to research, author, and brief intelligence assessments that contextualize cyber threats within the organization’s global business interests. Your analysis will inform leadership on emerging risks, geopolitical drivers of cyber activity, and potential impacts to regional operations, partnerships, and supply chains, enabling data-driven decisions at the executive and business-unit level.  Liaising with European and other global information sharing partners—both as a consumer and producer of actionable intelligence--will be a critical function of this position.

In parallel, you will support the Operational Intelligence service by translating strategic insights into actionable intelligence that strengthens detection and response capabilities. You will conduct deep, methodical research into adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)—including those used by APT and financially motivated actors—to enable intelligence-driven threat detection and proactive defense. Working closely with Threat Hunting, Incident Recovery and Response (IRR), and the Threat Informed Detection Engineering (TIDE) team, you will help identify detection gaps, help develop hypotheses for proactive hunts, and enrich investigations with high-confidence intelligence, ensuring intelligence efforts remain tightly aligned and actionable enabling cross-organizational security teams. Lastly, as a Senior Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst you will be expected to serve as a mentor and support colleagues in their growth as cyber intelligence professionals and be the consummate teammate.

Key Responsibilities:

•    Translate business information needs to priority intelligence requirements (PIRs).
•    Integrate geopolitical insights with cyber threat intelligence to assess potential impacts on organizational operations and assets.
•    Coordinate with SAP Lines of Business (LOBs) stakeholders to ensure cyber intelligence requirements are being met.
•    Support incident response providing threat intelligence contextualization during active incident investigations.
•    Track and assess threats targeting modern enterprise environments, including cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), identity providers (Entra ID, Okta), SaaS applications, and software supply chains.
•    Actively participate in Europe-based information sharing groups and lead expansion efforts of SAP membership in high-value information sharing communities within EU.
•    Author technical reports on adversary behavioral tradecraft to support threat hunting and detection engineering.
•    Develop highly polished intelligence reports utilizing graphics, charts, and impactful illustrations to distill complex geopolitical trends into actionable intelligence.

What you bring

•    Degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, National Security Studies, Political Science, Foreign Area Studies, or relevant on the job expertise.
•    7+ years of related professional experience as a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst.
•    Experience using SOAR platforms to automate end-to-end intelligence workflows.
•    Excellent report writing skills with the ability to create clear, concise, and impactful intelligence reports incorporating graphics and visualizations.
•    Exceptional communication skills in English, both written and verbal, to effectively convey technical information to non-technical stakeholders. German skills highly beneficial.
•    Good understanding of the intelligence lifecycle and associated analytic frameworks (Cyber Kill Chain, Diamond Model, ATT&CK, etc.) 

Preferred Qualifications:

•    Certifications such as Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), or equivalent.
•    Professional work experience in German state or federal law enforcement, security agency, or military unit in a cyber-related billet.
•    Experience with threat intelligence platforms, SIEM platforms, and various security vendor portals/platforms.
•    Familiarity with regulatory requirements and industry standards related to cybersecurity and data protection.
•    Familiarity with utilizing AI agents to introduce efficiencies in intelligence collection and analysis workflows.
